Settled in the town square opposite the religion, the project entails refurbishing and also extending the authentic square-plan structure by fifty% to resolve access as well as energy performance issues. The design keeps essential components of the initial structure, including the exterior's materiality as well as positions, while launching a distinctive brand-new quantity. This add-on is characterized by its own polyhedral and abstract type, contrasting with the existing architecture. The extension is actually outfitted in vertical timber slats, which produce a low-key appearance, exposing a few positions behind the continual cladding.
